I am getting close to being able to install me turbo setup now and i have a couple questions. First is how much boost can i safely run on my B16A2 with stock internals? it will be a daily driver and i want it to last. well last untill i get all the new internals bought so i can rebiuld it and make it stronger. My second question is should i get an oil restictor right away before i do my install or should i wait and see how it is once i install my setup? If i do get a restrictor right away how do i know where to set the valve on it? i am looking at the one on the stealthmode site. any help would be great and thanx in advance guys.

 

its not a how much boost really, 10psi from a t-25 is not the same as 10psi from a gt-35r OK? So what turbo are you going to run? some people can blow up ---- on 8psi while others can rock 15

 

Beating my D15b7 on 12 psi daily Too bad its still slow with such a small turbo :P

I would run it without a restrictor 1st, lots of cases you dont even need one, if you do just tap out the -an fitting and locktite a set screw in there, drill a small hole in the set screw and you have a restrictor that cost you 14 cents instead of $14.

 

8-10 is always a safe number

 

stock block b16's have held 500+, i dont think you need to worry about low psi #s as long as you have a good tune...

get a nice t3/t4 hybrid and rock that ---- as high as you can on stock map sensor, get a good tune and you wont have to worry.

 

well im going to be running a t3. here is a pic.

 

run 10 on a good tune and you will be happy with that for now

 

Keyword in that sentance was TUNE not basemap, I think you'll be pretty happy for a few months on 10psi with that size blower....after about 6 months you will want to turn up the boost

 

Well my only worry is that there is no one near me than tunes. so i dont know what to do about that. i dont know enough about tuning to do it myself. i mean i have a base map made already but i still dont have even close to enough experience to actually tune it right. i mean i looked in the crome tuner directory and i didt see anyone listed in Wisconsin at all. i guess i will cross that bridge when i come to it.

 

None. Don't put on a turbo if you want reliability.

For about twelve seconds.
